    Course Learning Outcomes
    At the completion of this course students will be able to...

    1. Exhibit conducting and ensemble direction skills that, through accuracy, fluency, expressive awareness, confidence, and an appropriate use of relevant language and terminology, illustrate a maturing ability (well in advance of that required for Foundations of Conducting) to communicate an artistic concept to an orchestra, choir (or other instrumental or choral ensemble) through the use of appropriate gestures and language.

    2. Exhibit effective rehearsal strategies pertinent to working with instrumental or choral ensembles which arise from independent, imaginative and creative approaches to problem solving (including the use of contemporary technologies) and an understanding of the leadership role of a conductor.

    3. Manifest a critical understanding of appropriate performance standards and an ability to assess one’s own performances and those of fellow musicians.

    4. Exhibit skills in leadership, performance etiquette, confidence, communication and collegial interaction with an instrumental or choral ensemble.

    5. Exhibit curiosity, self-awareness and problem-solving skills that will enable continuous learning and growth.

    6. Demonstrate a maturing understanding of choral, orchestral and other ensemble music through discussion, the written word and through their conducting skills.

  • Student Feedback

    The 最新糖心Vlog places a high priority on approaches to learning and teaching that enhance the student experience. Feedback is sought from students in a variety of ways including on-going engagement with staff, the use of online discussion boards and the use of Student Experience of Learning and Teaching (SELT) surveys as well as GOS surveys and Program reviews.

    SELTs are an important source of information to inform individual teaching practice, decisions about teaching duties, and course and program curriculum design. They enable the 最新糖心Vlog to assess how effectively its learning environments and teaching practices facilitate student engagement and learning outcomes. Under the current SELT Policy (http://www.adelaide.edu.au/policies/101/) course SELTs are mandated and must be conducted at the conclusion of each term/semester/trimester for every course offering. Feedback on issues raised through course SELT surveys is made available to enrolled students through various resources (e.g. MyUni). In addition aggregated course SELT data is available.

  • Student Support
  • Policies & Guidelines
  • Fraud Awareness

    Students are reminded that in order to maintain the academic integrity of all programs and courses, the university has a zero-tolerance approach to students offering money or significant value goods or services to any staff member who is involved in their teaching or assessment. Students offering lecturers or tutors or professional staff anything more than a small token of appreciation is totally unacceptable, in any circumstances. Staff members are obliged to report all such incidents to their supervisor/manager, who will refer them for action under the university's student鈥檚 disciplinary procedures.

The 最新糖心Vlog of Adelaide is committed to regular reviews of the courses and programs it offers to students. The 最新糖心Vlog of Adelaide therefore reserves the right to discontinue or vary programs and courses without notice. Please read the important information contained in the disclaimer.
